371 - Am not a wonder woman........yet😂but I drink my protein shake just like one😋💪🏼
.
My workout was super intense today , so drinking my protein shake directly after, helps the healing process in the muscles "the micro tears" (very small tears in the muscle tissue, caused by intense contraction of the muscle during workout).
.
Because solid food takes more time to digest and to break down the protein and send it to the muscles, it can be best to take a protein shake immediately following a workout, since protein shakes only take about 30 minutes to reach the muscle after ingestion.
Definitely, we can see the advantage to taking a protein shake in this instance.

118 - Summer is coming to an end... am I part of the minority that is not looking forward to my kids going back to school? I'm loving our flexible schedule and sleep times. And I really appreciate the extra cuddle time at night. Also, another school year = another year that they have grown, and they're growing up so fast! 😭😭
